i have been playing runescape for over 10 years now and all i can say really is what the heck happened we had over 200,000 players on at one time and now you have to be a member to play the good version of this game i tried playing the combat evolution but its really bad compared to the runescape i grew-up on i mean really do you think thats what people like... you got just over 64,000. That should be proof that you guys really aren't going down the right track.

Interesting! You didn't mention (specifically) the EOC. I think I agree, to the degree that although the EOC has been positive for some aspects, it still needs a lot of work.. most notably the demise of PVP.

For me best update was Dungeoneering keying and binds updates. Fantastic common seance computing!

Merry Christmas Jagex, don't give me Blink again pl0x :D

Not sure if trolling, just joined this year, or 7.

If you played any year before 2013, you'll see hands down this was the worst year in Runescape's history. I quit a majority of this year for not just 1 or a couple reasons, but a myriad of reasons.

It's funny because the single and worst thing that happened in this year was the denial and ignorance of the majority of this Community (talking about the type of people like you).

You should get your perspective cleaned up because this have been THE BEST YEAR hands down. Le Infamous XP Waster... Part-time Demon Flash Mob Hunter; 8 titles found

2013? Year of the Player? As much as I hate to say so, it's more like "Year of Messing with Players".

You did not keep your promise on less SOF and SFS garbage, and I know for a fact the golden chinchompa promo was particularly volatile (no pun intended!), as well as the Samid's gloves promo (which I never got a pair, so I feel ripped off). Granted, some of the SGS stuff was interesting (though I was very disappointed with Drakewing, since there's no chathead animations that make it look less like an outfit and more like a real dragon anthro), and the SOF stuff was kind of funny...in passing...maybe...ok, not really, the SOF was really in-our-face and needed to go.

I think you guys did an OK job on quests, though the two I did that I remember most (The World Wakes and Birthright of the Dwarves) were very hard for me to beat because of the combat involved (I took over thirty attempts to beat Hreidmar and Grimmson because of how unprepared I was and how low my budget was for the quest) .

Which brings me to the EOC. As I've stated before, I do not PVP and am not good at doing so. I ignored content like Warbands for this reason (and still do, I view them as stupid and not worth dying over experience for). However, PVM was a bit easier...slightly. I had trouble with a few things like Kree'arra in TWW, but otherwise it was fairly smooth sailing. Fairly.

Honestly, do away with SOF and I'd say more people would be happy. It's constantly shoved in our faces, constantly controversial, and constantly hated on. If you can't see there's a problem with having that annoying twerp Yelps and his stupid wheel in-game, then you at Jagex are blind and cannot be saved from the death of RuneScape. I'm sorry, but that's just how I see it. :|

Good day. Oh, I almost forgot.
Oh, I already forgot.

I have been playing Runescape seriously since spring of 2010, but i got my start in 2006. I have very few complaints about Runescape in 2013. Ever since the release of Evolution of Combat (EOC) many people have been passionate in their hate for it. However, I consider EOC to be one of the most amazing updates to the game. when I played Runescape in 2006 and in 2010 I found combat to be a drag, completely and utterly boring. All anyone had to do was click and let the game do its thing. If that's what people prefer than I don't think they understand the purpose of Runescape game play. In my opinion Runescape is an incredibly interactive game so I fail to see the interaction when all u have to do is click your target. I will however mention that I have never been a fan of killing other players. Now, in EOC, combat takes skill to get a kill. My efforts have been richly rewarded and i can see myself being reward alot more as i get stronger. Though EOC was released at the end of 2012, i feel its greatest impact was in 2013. I am also a huge fan of cosmetics so Solomon's was a great idea.
On a little bit of a darker note I dislike Sof, its annoying and distracting, so that would be my only negative thing to say about Runescape this year.

What makes this the best year? As you've mentioned, I am able to see the denial and ignorance. I know this game and what it's evolving into, and I don't like it. What say you? You surmise the perspective of the minority especially yours is right? What have I been oblivious of? Nothing which can be proven. The only thing which can be proven is said myself, and I say I'm guilty of loving this game from my childhood, and to each his own. It didn't come all to common recently you pick out the subtle ways of a gimmick in almost every update Jagex releases now. Some more subtle, and others more obvious like yelps in your face, or a video advertisement before logging in. Why is my perspective wrong? If an opinionated question is called, there isn't an answer, though somewhere in the middle the solid truths can be found with a keen eye.

I think it's important that players understand that the developments like Solomons Store and even sof are there to assist in the financial security and future development of the game. If Runescape is to continue in today's game market it has to be financially viable.
